Matthew Ogunniyi is set to visit Rutgers football in June for an official visit, the wide receiver announced on Tuesday.
A three-star recruit from Maryland, Ogunniyi holds Power Five offers from Rutgers and West Virginia. He also has picked up offers from Charlotte, James Madison, Old Dominion and Temple among others.
A 6-foot-5, 205-pound wide receiver, Ogunniyi plays for Charles Herbert Flowers (Upper Marlboro, MD). Last season in seven games, he had eight receptions for 286 yards and five touchdowns.
He is a long strider who is devastating in the open field once he gets his hands on the ball. He projects as either a wide receiver or a tight end. According to 247Sports, he is the No. 24 recruit in the state.
Ogunniyi is scheduled to visit Rutgers on June 9.
Charles Herbert Flowers went 13-1 last season, losing to Quince Richard in the state playoffs.

New Jersey’s top quarterback, A.J. Surace, a three-star with multiple Power Five offers, committed in February.
Three-star linebacker Sam Pilof, the fourth highest-ranked recruit in Wisconsin, committed over the weekend.
